[QUOTE="MagliteL13, post: 6947263, member: 11398"] Unless the bellhop disables the doors (which is possible) or one of a few other situations, the doors will always open when the VVC is at load with an AGV in it. This is a safety feature should anyone be in the AGV. I'm saying this as a former bellhop who has ridden the AGV from unload to load. No microphone-- there is a phone which is tied to the clearcom/telex system run throughout the building in order to communicate with other bellhops. There are two 'stop' buttons- an estop and door stop. The door stop is intriguing as it can be triggered a number of different ways including that of a normal elevator--waving your arms to stop the doors from closing. Spot on! Adding/Removing/Swapping an AGV is actually a pretty intensive process involving coordination between maintenance, tower, unload, and both loaders. Without going into too many specifics, maintenance manually adds it and tower has to tell the ride how many AGV are online. Another thing to clear up-- there is one maintinence bay on the echo side. Foxtrot has storage for 1 AGV and not a full blown bay. The rides are linked in a pathway which can be seen if you "chicken out." After going down the elevator, in the themed hallway you would go over a bridge. It's easier to add/remove load lifts-- and each can hold 2 AGVs (one in the lift, the other on the unload floor ready to enter). That's why Delta will sometimes not be operating when it's slow. Hope that clears some things up! [/QUOTE]
